Pregnant at 16

[Charliecatlover]

I was hoping for some advice. My daughter has just told me she is pregnant and seriously considering keeping it. I’m so worried. I understand it’s her decision. But she is still a child herself. Has anyone gone through the same situation

You’re exactly right.

I had my son at 16 and dad was also 16 (a better situation than many teen mums were statistically the dad is likely to be a creepy old man)
no help at all from parents who basically disowned me but I worked when my son was 5, didn’t see they owned their home maybe they did have family help with deposit.
Lots of people rent anyway I mainly commented to say it’s not always a complete shitshow where grandma is expected to raise the child while the mother goes off and does drugs. As that is usually what people try to say will “definitely” happen

My DD got pregnant at 15. Baby born 16th birthday. Baby is now 24. DD has a degree a good job owns a house. It’s not how you would plan it but it can work out.
